Where to look, which office to contact, and how to request records.
Where to obtain records
Garrett County Billing & Collections Office
Official local property-tax records and tax-sale guidanceHow to find the information
Billing & Collections provides Property Tax Search separately from Citizen Connect payment. It locates the office at 203 South Fourth Street, Room 107A, Oakland and says office service is by appointment. Its dated 2026 tax-sale announcement uses an online auction with batches. Use the account-search route or request the existing ledger and dated certificate/redemption record through Collections.
For existing records, provide the account/parcel identifier, tax or fiscal year and desired as-of date. Specify an ordinary unpaid collection ledger, dated tax-sale advertisement, certificate history or a current redemption quote. Ask whether municipal bills, utilities, special assessments, penalties, interest, later taxes and certificate-holder costs are included. Confirm inspection, electronic-copy, certification, research and extract charges before ordering. SDAT ownership/assessment data, a payment receipt and an old sale list do not certify the complete current amount due.
What to ask for
“I am looking for publicly available delinquent real-property tax records for Garrett County for [tax year]. Which office maintains these records? Is there an online search or downloadable list? If not, how can I request a copy, and what fees apply?”
Have the property address, parcel number, owner name, and tax year ready when searching for a particular property.
County-specific notes
Older sale announcements remain below the newer one. A bidder registration deadline and a current unpaid-account balance are different information; confirm the intended year and appointment before visiting. Reviewed October 28, 2026. Published directions and service labels are not tested account results. No taxpayer criteria, account creation, CAPTCHA completion, record-request submission, bidder enrollment or payment was performed. No owner-list attachments or taxpayer rows are reproduced.
